Similar Brokeback Mountain Review
I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything. I just thought that this was the best BM Review I've ever read and I agreed w/ everything 100% and wanted to keep it in my journal. Lets hope dj_derek doesn't mind if I steal this:
Ok, so we acquired a screening copy dvd of BB Mountain. And you know me, Mr. Critical/Mr. Negative.
First of all, I don't understand the crying from people at the end, because it didn't end in a way that should make anybody cry, really. Maybe it's just me. Or maybe they were crying because they spent $8 on this movie and sat through it. That might make me cry.
Secondly, I don't understand the praise from all these gay people, because it showed a very negative portrayal of fags. Not untruthful, but negative. It's all about sex. I never really got that they "loved" each other - It came across to me that they "loved" the SEX. It did correctly portray how the relationship ruined everybody they cared about. Yet they still kept on. That's not love, that's being selfish and whorish. Yeah, it's gays on film, but everyone who's praising this film will soon see that it's going to do more damage to our "reputation" then good. I cringe at the thought that my mother or father or cousins went to see this, as they will most likely commit this to brain. I hope they don't look at Mark and I this way. This movie just gives Bible-beaters more ammunition. Thanks for that!
Thirdly, I don't think he died at the end. I think he ran off to Mexico with the hookers or left with the other guy for that "cabin". At least I hope he did. Because if he didn't, he gave us fags a bad fricken name. I haven't met a dick yet that would make me act that way.
Fourth - everybody's mentioning "but I understand the times they were in..." - the times they were in? They had telephone, television, and country music on the jukebox. They had gay bars back then. That's when some of the BEST gay porn was made. This wasn't the Flintstones or even that long ago. It doesn't justify it.
Fifth - the first sex scene - kinky/hot? Hardly. This got NO rise out of DJ's pants. Maybe I have spoiled myself on REAL porn but this is lame to some of the sex WE have. I'm just sayin'. Now if he had slapped the bitch around a little bit and made him cry for his mama, we could talk....
Sixth - I am not sure how I feel about seeing breasts from Dawson's Creek. It's kinda like seeing tits from Saved By the Bell.
Seventh - "Just so you know, I ain't a queer" - the typical gay man is the one who's always screaming that he's not the typical gay man. Am I wrong?
Eight and going - the commercials are saying "the best movie of the year" - which year? It got considered and awarded for the 2005 globes. For 2006? It's mid-February! The next Harry Potter movie will knock this one back where it belongs. But I bet it's out on dvd by May.
Nine - Why can't real gay people portray gay characters? You can't run that "star-quality name" by us this time as there were really no "A-list" stars! Hell, the stars on THIS movie wouldn't make Kathy Griffin's pot-shot list!
Tenth and lastly - Who gives a rat's ass about two skinny sheep herders? Moses, I hear you calling. For the sequel, I request some real cowboys and oil of some kind be involved.
